Good on you for pushing it to the limit. SO many videos haven't done this so fair play for actually seeing. I was interested to see how it would manage the ticker branches too!
Very nice review. Timely too. I am looking now for power loppers and hand pruner. Have Ryobi and love them but just could not pull the trigger....THANKS.
Had the hand held cutters the hp plus one brushless,if you over load by accident of going thicker on pruning,the gears are easily strained and can become problematic.awaiting ryobi to contact me.had them 6mth,with light use.
They have power pruners too at 3/4 inch and 1-inch sizes but this will got out to 1 1/4 inch and the extra length will help with my locust (thorn) saplings that have been popping up on my 20 acres.
Most definitely. My wife loves them for getting close to the ground with dense shrubs. Makes things so much easier without long handles that have to be opened up in tight places. Thanks for watching and commenting. Both are greatly appreciated.
Nice video, thanks for sharing it. The Hart pole lopper from Walmart - made by Techtronic, the same factory that makes Ryobi - is more robust, but costs a stinging $258, seems the better tool. I could actually use this more than a chainsaw around my yard. Maybe in 2023!
Thank you for your review. From you review. It seem that this could be a very useful tool, however I see it has a lot of plastic in the cutting head if I am right. I wonder how long that it will last before plastic breaks? I have up to date had very bad experience with Ryobi with a large number of tools, battery and charger all failing.
Flimsy branches are hard to cut with a power chainsaw or a manual pole saw. Enter: The Ryobi lopper. Now it is easy. By the way, Ryobi makes a shorter and a longer (48" version) of this tool.
I’ve used the loppers a lot since I put the video up. They are great and the only thing I think needs tweaking is the safety switch. I find it awkward using the loppers one handed over my head.
I just bought one of these trimmers . . . excited to use it. But when I dry fired it, it makes the most awful grinding noise. Its not smooth like the ones in your video. Its like it has never been lubed at the factory. I'm afriad it will wear out fast like this. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks in advance
Comment for Ryobi users.. when you’re using where you’ll be tools.. all the power is in your battery. If you want the most power from your batteries... start out at.a ...4.0 AH and this is your power if you were using batteries under this power then you will not get what you’re looking for... I know Milwaukee does not make this.. Ryobi they make one off tools like this if you were looking at your jobs look at what you need and most of the time the Ryobi tool fits this category...
The Ryobbery batteries SUCK. I bought 2 new 4 amp ones used each 1 time, now won't recharge. Pulled out 2 older ones, 3 Amp that I've had for about 6 months, same thing. Worked for 1 cut and now won't recharge.🤬🤬🤬🤬
That’s odd to have that many batteries be defective. Ive never had one act that way while relatively new. For some reason it sounds like your charger isn’t recognizing the batteries because either the charger is bad or the batteries for some reason have fallen in voltage below the level where the charger recognizes them.
Thanks for watching. The price changes continually. I paid $129 for the looper, and battery and charger. Not afraid to put the price up but is sort of irrelevant to a video that will be on my channel forever. Thanks again.
Bought one of these about two years ago from the UK. Didn't sell them in US yet. Works great, use all year long on crepe myrtles.
Thanks for watching. Funny you should bring up crepe myrtles…my wife just told me ours need to be beat back again. 🤣

Just bought one of these from Factory Direct Outlet and I'm excited to give them a try when they arrive.
We love ours. So convenient when reaching up or out. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and commenting. So far so good with the Ryobi!

Can the blade be replaced when it becomes dull? Ty for a great video
I do believe you can buy replacement blades.
According to RYOBI Tv they can be ordered.

If it’s coming from the motor housing I’d return it. If from the cables and pivot points spray with some lubricant.

a Sawzall does the same thing just cheaper an cuts more
Thanks for watching. The reach is better with the loppers and makes a better cut…something I like on fruit trees.

Lopper cost $169 bucks not sure why he is afraid to put the price up ? They also make a longer lopper .
